I guess they say that soil is strong, not to give nutes till about 3 weeks at least. Then maybe some nitrogen. Maybe a few weeks later some bloom nutes.

I fed mine at about 3 weeks and its not a super rich soil. So Id wait a month in that stuff. Especially in nice big pots.

 

[mfdiamond]

yea thats what i was thinking at least 2 weeks, i cant believe they started to show sex so early though, day 10, thanks.

ok for you guys that have some experience in growing autos.. I have some purple ryder seeds. seed bank i got them from says the average 10 to 12 inches tall and yield 28 to 42 oz. If I am growing these in a 24" deep X 30" wide X 36" tall cabinet... with a sun blaze high output 2ft X 8 bulb T5 with a combo of 6500 and 3000 bulbs... how big should i expect these plants to get and how many should i try to grow in this size cabinet... i was planning on using fox farm happy frog & 5 liter pots. i just want to get an idea of what i should shoot for since this is my first grow.

Sounds like BS theyll yield that much at 11 inches tall.

Cool, how old is the lowryder? My aks are looking good, 32 days from sprout, about 11"x11". Stretching like an inch a day this week. And just starting flowering really.

oops sorry, that was 28 to 42 grams... not oz. One last question, when they go into bloom, would it be better to leave my lights at 4 6500K & 4 3000K or would it be better to use all 8 3000K?

hey guys how often should I water my 4 day old auto seedlings that are in root-riot cubes under a 4tube 4foot long T-5 fluro hung about 6-7 inches above the lil guys? Ive been using a needleless 10ml syringe to water the cubes so far and they seem to be pretty healthy and green and growing. I pretty much wait until the top half of the cube is dry but not like cracking dry, and i just wet them enough to where the cube is wet/mosit not drenched and sopping wet. usually its been like every 12 hrs im doing this. whatcha guys think?? and thanks to whoever helps a 1st time grower out!!!

 

[sweetsmoker]

carry on as u are gonzo i give mine a little misting also, an keep em in th eprop or jus on the heat pad. keep doing this until you pot them up.. give a gd watering and leave for gd 3-4 days between waterings unless u can see quite clearly that they thirsty gd luck bud..

 

[Gonzo'dOut71]

thanks sweetsmoker!!! Another ?

The stems of my seedlings are all a darkish color with some of them starting to turn green at the bottom. The leaves are greeeen and beautiful but whats with the stems? I read that it can be disease if its like a redish color. The white roots are coming outta the cube and leaves are nice and green so whats with the stems? They are only 4 days old. Do they eventually turn color or do you think i fukd um up some how??? Im gunna try and find the cord to my cam an get a pix up here

edit- i think its normal. i just found a picture of the same age and healthy seedling in MJ Horticulture and it looks exactly the same as mine so i think im good!

so far all my Fem SR's have shown sex at around day 27 or 28 from seed and I harvested at around 70 to 75 days from seed.

Right under an ounce or so could be expected although I have one outdoors at the moment that looks a little more

airy than my other did so it may not make as much. I dont think the SR's are very stable at this point because they have all smelled

and looked totally different and grown different when planted at the same time and same conditions. Not downing them by far though

they will produce some nice bud at a fast pace.

thanks for the info bro!

My 70 day old short rider. This gal came out more on the Sativa side for sure, not a thick bud at all but smells like Heaven and seems like itll make 20 grams or so dry.
Anyways I just wanted to share her with you Auto lovers. I have 6 reg short riders that are 38 days old and 2 feet tall and still havent shown sex.!!! I also have a Auto Northern Lights and a Auto Blue Mystic a couple weeks old.

 

[husalife]

Short Rider top cola all trimmed up.....looks like a sativa to me

Smells strait like Grapefruit

 

[cutman]

Oh I didnt even see you put oz, I dont believe it for grams either. But Im on my first auto grow so maybe Im wrong. Something isnt right if your watering twice a day. You need a bigger pot, or your not watering heavy enough.

Do you think they are really autos? Not showing at 2 feet tall. Arent short riders suppossed to be done super early and short?

 

[rainz]

has anybody tried LOWBOLDT??? i would appreciate an answer people. And as for yield on autos it really depends what strain you grow my ak auto's ended up giving me jus under 2oz each under a 250w hps 18/6 and they were only fed nitrozyme throughout

I'm starting to think maybe they arent auto's, Should be, planted them all strait out of a Reg Short Rider pack.

I guess we will see. If they are this just means they got plenty of Veg time, and maybe will put plenty of bud on

here pretty soon. Gotta keep hoping for the best ....right..

Wow, I caught up on the whole thread! Ive been reading little by little for months. Kinda wanna go over the last 100 now, might be something useful. Mostly like comparing my plants to others the same age. I didnt have my plants growing yet when I subscribed 100 pages ago.
